Whoops and Wings is back for Winter 2018-2019 Season! These take place every Wednesday 6-10PM, in the basement of the Norvilla Hotel 1763 Henderson Hwy. This race is open to all ages and skill levels. Spectators are welcome. Food and beverages available from the bar upstairs.

Bring your indoor safe drone and join the fun. Recommended 1-2s with protected props. This year we’re seeing a lot of brushless 1s or 2s whoops like the Mobula7, TinyHawk, and Beta75x. Tons of fun!

2018 marks a milestone for MultiGP FPV drone racing with the league’s first Canadian Series! There will be four qualifiers across Canada with the National finals in Ottawa in September. This series will see top Canadian pilots competing in some of the fastest and most exciting racing possible. More information on the 2018 Canadian series can be found here: http://multigpcanada.com
